The idea
of the race

The goal is to go through the race route as quickly as possible, visiting the checkpoints in numerical order. The finish line must be reached within the time limit (25 hours, 14 hours or 6 hours).

On the water the team moves by packraft. The use of any kind of engines that can move the boat is prohibited.

The team travels the whole course together and carries all the equipment it needs by itself.

The team that completes the entire course the fastest, or finds most checkpoints within the time limit, wins.

Event info

There will be a short event info at the starting point of the race on Wednesday the 5th of July 2022 at 4.30 pm.

There you will be provided with more information about the race, as well as all the material needed for the race. At the end of the event info you are free to ask questions about the race. You can also send your questions in advance to: info [at] kairacross.fi

THE MAP

The map is based on topographic map material by the National Land Survey of Finland. The same material is used eg. in Kansalaisen Karttapaikka map.

Team get two maps sets, one printed on water resistant material and the other on normal paper, so a proper map case is needed.

The race maps are handed out to teams when the race begins.

Mobile phone

All participants must have a functional mobile phone (packed waterproof) with them for safety reasons. We also recommend bringing a power bank.

You are free to use your mobile phone during the race. We strongly recommend you to share your best pictures on social media – perhaps even when the race is still ongoing.
